Jigero said: Uh that's nonsense because the Federation made an entire line of Mobile suits that could only be used on the ground. The G series. The Zeons did too. Gundam G, GM G, Zaku G, Dom Trophen. Not to mention the GMs that where along side the guntanks in that OVA where actually GM G's but they where using Heavy shields. It's not nonsense because; The RX79G Gundam Ground was never mass produced and are constructed of spare parts left over from the RX78 development project. I don't know about the GM G, but no one care about GM anyways. But it's safe to assume they are in the same boat as the RX79G. The Zaku II G is just a "cheaper" variant of the Zaku II F and was developed/deployed before the Earth Federation start to mass produce mobile suit (most of the fighting was on Earth at this point). The Dom Tropen is a Dom Funf outfitted for tropical/desert warfare, the Dom Funf was a late addition in the war and so was never mass produced. |

| Nice episode but, as with each of these, it's quite hard to understand what's going on sometimes. |
 |
| Epic battle ^^ |
| This ep made Guntanks Freakin' amazing! Eat it Hayato! And I saw Doms =D But now...I need some flowers. Teddy bears, puppies, or something. She went to jail for giving out the guntank info to the man who became a double agent? I think his name is Clyde (クライド・ベタニー). The Shinigami is attracted to people with a big big darkness... War totally is hell, and that's portrayed wonderfully in this series. |
 |
| The last episode was a tragic one to be sure. Didn't like it as much as the previous two though. A love story doesn't do much for me, but the battle was pretty badass. As an ova, I was rather surprised at how much I enjoyed this. It really paints an image of how the war was fought before the development of the GM. Regular soldiers trying to take down giant monsters is way more heroic than someone who is in an advanced suit taking down zakus like they are nothing. Just taking down one with the tools available to them is way more rewarding. I want to see more of this, but I doubt they will continue since this is pretty old now. Too bad, 9/10. |

| I really liked this episode. I thought the girl was going to survive. Well, too bad. It's sad to see that it was a misunderstood. This girls and the traitor could be together one day... This whole Shinigami thing was very bizarre, but I really liked it. And also, those Guntanks were different from the ones in the original series, right? it was strange for me, but I think they'd just reimaginated it |
| Never knew Guntanks were this badass o.O Awesome ova but the Death God thing threw me off a bit, 9/10. |
 |
| yeah i ended up not liking any of the igloos, there were scattered moments of potent but no follow through, this series in particular could had been cool had it been longer and the supernatural element not even been there in the first place. It worked when i thought it was just in the guy from episode 1's head but making it some actual ghost of death just feels goofy and out of place. This episode was so rushed and the final few minutes felt like a really forced M night shyamalan twist ending. 4/10....for pretty much the entire igloo series. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |

Yeah its honestly better to watch the original mobile suit gundam before this ova, it gives you a more of an outlook behind the history, wars, the terminology, etc. I understand how they incorporated the shinigami theme though, its mostly symbolism, not really supposed to be a frictional character in the ova. Even though its depicted as so. |

| I didnt really like the concept of a shinigami but this ep made up for the last 2. |
| Again, another crazy-eyes berserker, but a woman this time. Every character was totally possessed by the Fury. Her personal story did not attract me. The shinigami presence was too strong in this OVA, to the point it started to seem like an actual being. Good point: the battle gave some views on Operation Odessa. But this Guntank model seemed overpowered by the side of GMs. I thought the GM were lesser Gundam, shouldn't the Federation Guntanks be a bit under the prototype ones? 3/5 Overall: Except for the "crazy eyes" impression, the CGI facial features are improved since the first IGLOO. The fact you can see the Zeon impressive tech superiority of the war beginnings then the shift make some scenes interesting despite the boring personal stories of those madmen. The fantasy touch becomes too strong toward the end. 5/10 overall. (8/10 for the first episode, 4/10 the others) Score: 5/10 overall. (8/10 for the first episode, 4/10 the others) August 3, 2017 @laughterjones The rockets? Yes. |

| This girl and the tank guy from the previous ep should fight the zeon tank guy from the previous Igloo series. |
"Fortress Maximus has come himself. Okay! Then I shall get Fortress Maximus to fight me, huh huh huh!" |
| I personally was really not a fan of this Igloo series, and this was mostly because of the horrible CGI. Even if the story and action is pretty good, the CGI just ruins it for me. All in all these 9 episodes were still pretty decent and did gave a nice overall look on the general military but beside that it was pretty generic. |
 |
| This last episode was great, with the Guntank takes the battle and destroyer all the enemys, even in the plot, a little revenge, a story of love, with a ends suprise!!! In summary, great Ovas, with 3 differents storys about the weight of gravity, in the 0079 U.C. in the great war on the Earth!!!! 7/10. |
| Even though the animation is still off-putting, I kinda got used to it during previous parts of IGLOO but I think I would've preferred to watch the continuation of those, rather than these Earth battles because there was at least time to actually develop interest in the main reappearing characters. Here they are more like random background characters who just happen to have their moment and then they die and you forget about them. Sure, the stories became more diverse with more focus on individual drama. But whenever that ghost appeared I couldn't help but lose interest. This concept was stupid and completely unnecessary. It would have been so much better without any supernatural stuff. |
  |
| I liked IGLOO as a whole but this episode, especially the final twist, was dumb as hell. Why did no one ever told her her man was a spy? Why was she even jailed? I get that probably the Federation higher ups wanted to prevent an information leak but it's still absurd that at least Arleen was never informed. |
